Getting rid of "friends"

Apropos nothing special I went through my contact list on email today and reduced my list of contacts from 155 to 91. In some mouseclicks I deleted people. I have only once been on Facebook with a fake name, I just wanted to see what it was all about. I was always a bit wary of that way of communicating, these having gazillions of "friends" of Facebook made me cautious. And recent events have made me even more cautious. So I have decided that I will keep the people who have been good to me (and remember, I have an elephant's memory!), and the ones who were just entering my life temporarily or people I haven't spoken to in years - sorry, but goodbye. Did the same on Skype, not that many contacts there but if I never speak to you, what's the point of keeping your id? So I think the message is, my circle of friends I am very protective of, the rest of you, just fuck off! Ok, that was a bit hard, but you get the message. No need to keep people around you who are making you miserable. Life is short. Surround yourself with the people you like, live your life the way you want and try to be as happy as you can. See? You don't have to pay a therapist loadsa money. You can get the advice for free here on the blog! Edit: Ok, was reading thru and just wanna point out I don't have 91 friends. I have 91 CONTACTS. Big difference.
